SHEFFIELD: Profanity greater on liberal blogs ...Dividing the number of instances of profanity by the number of pages of the sites on which they appear, then multiplying the result by 100 yields what might be called a "profanity quotient." The top 10 liberal sites (Daily Kos, Huffington Post, Democratic Underground, Talking Points Memo, Crooks and Liars, Think Progress, Atrios, Greenwald, MyDD and Firedoglake) have a profanity quotient of 14.6. The top 10 conservative sites (Free Republic, Hot Air, Little Green Footballs, Townhall, NewsBusters, Lucianne.com, Wizbang, Ace of Spades, Red State and Volokh Conspiracy) have a quotient of 1.17... washingtontimes.com

A Chocolate a Day Boosts Health Thursday, August 7, 2008 11:53 PM Article Font Size Chocolate as health food? Not exactly, but eating a small amount of dark chocolate every day offers some health benefits. The benefits are thought to come from flavonoids in dark chocolate, according to the August issue of Mayo Clinic Women’s HealthSource. Flavonoids are a naturally occurring antioxidant that also are found in teas, red wine and some fruits and vegetables. The flavonoids in dark chocolate have been associated with a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system. One recent study showed that 6 grams of dark chocolate a day, about one square, lowered systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 2 points each. Dark chocolate also may lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels by about 5 points. While not a huge affect, it’s sending that “bad” cholesterol in the right direction. Also, flavonoids have a beneficial effect on how the lining of the blood vessels function. “We think a lot of bad things that happen to the cardiovascular system are because the lining of the vessels cracks and becomes inflamed, setting the stage for plaques to form and rupture,” says Robert Sheeler, M.D., a family physician at Mayo Clinic. To gain the health benefits, there’s no need to eat a whole chocolate bar. After all, chocolate still contains calories and fat. Dr. Sheeler says just one square a day, about 30 calories worth, will provide the health benefits. Generally, to gain health benefits, Dr. Sheeler recommends chocolate that contains at least 60 percent cocoa. Milk chocolate typically has 15 percent to 25 percent cocoa. Dark chocolate tends to have 50 percent to 80-plus percent cocoa. And no need to buy the priciest brands. Some high-quality dark chocolate bars are available for $2 to $4 each.

WOODRUFF: People say they are in contact with her, have told us that you have met her out in California several times. True? EDWARDS: I met her this last time when I was in California for the very purpose that you and I just spoke about. WOODRUFF: And that picture is absolutely you and you are holding that baby. EDWARDS: The picture in the tabloid. I have no idea what that picture is. WOODRUFF: But you've seen it right? EDWARDS: I did see it and I cannot make any sense out of that. When I went to this meeting you've already asked me about, uh, I was not wearing a t-shirt, I was wearing a long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up. I don't know who that picture -- I don't know if that picture is me, it could well be, it looks like me. I don't know who that baby is, I have no idea what that picture is. *** WOODRUFF: But are you saying you don't remember holding that child of Miss Hunter? EDWARDS: I'm saying you asked me about this photograph, I don't know anything about that photograph, I don't know who that baby is. I don't know if the picture has been altered, manufactured, if it's a picture of me taken some other time, holding another baby -- I have no idea. I was not at this meeting holding a child for my photograph to be taken I can tell you that. WOODRUFF: You did say you did meet her at a hotel in California. EDWARDS: She was there, Mr. McGovern was present, and that's where the meeting took place. WOODRUFF: But you don't remember a baby being there? EDWARDS: No.
